Cleveland Buddhist Temple, Pure Land Buddhist temple in Shaker Heights, Ohio, US
The Cleveland Buddhist Temple operates from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation building, offering regular services and Buddhist teachings to the local community.
Founded in 1944 by Japanese-Americans after their release from World War II internment camps, the temple's first dedicated building opened on East 81st Street in 1955.
The temple follows Jodo Shinshu traditions of Pure Land Buddhism, maintaining connections with the Nishi Hongwanji headquarters in Kyoto through Buddhist Churches of America.
Monthly services take place on the third Sunday at 21600 Shaker Boulevard, where visitors can learn about Buddhism and participate in community activities.
Following the destruction of its original building during the 1966 Hough Riots, the temple relocated multiple times before establishing its current location in Shaker Heights.
